The World Health Organization defines "health" as a state of physical, mental and social well-being of an individual, and not just the absence of disease or illness. Health self-assessment is almost never present in medical and clinical models, which define "health" as the absence of physical disease. On the one hand, some say that there is a correlation between these definitions, and others argue that self-assessment of health is not always consistent with the clinical health status evaluation. Few studies have examined the relationship between self-assessment and health status among residents of the State of Israel in general and among the population residing in the Galilee and Western Galilee area in particular. The studies presented contradictory findings about the health perception among Jewish and Arab population. There are about 600,000 residents in Western Galilee from various population sectors, including Jews, Arabs, Druze and others. This composition of population pretty much reflects the general composition of population in the Galilee area.
